Logan Mailloux (born April 15, 2003) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a defenceman for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 31st overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2021 NHL entry draft under controversial circumstances. As a youth, Mailloux played with the Toronto Marlboros of the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) and participated in the OHL Cup during his midget year, earning selection to the tournament All-Star team. In the 2019–20 season, Mailloux played primarily for the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) London Knights' Junior B affiliate, the London Nationals, scoring 18 goals and 50 assists in a 48-game season that was prematurely shortened by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America. For his efforts, he earned a number of Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (GOJHL) awards, including both rookie of the year and defensive player of the year honours. Mailloux also appeared in four games with the Knights during that year's OHL season. With the pandemic halting the entirety of the 2020–21 OHL season, Mailloux was loaned to SK Lejon in the Swedish Hockeyettan, where he registered 15 points in 19 games. While in Sweden, Mailloux received a 14,300 Swedish krona fine (approximately $1,640.00 USD or $2,000.00 CAD, at the time) for secretly taking photos of a young woman while they were engaged in a sexual act. He then shared the images, along with the identity of the woman, with members of his hockey team. Prior to the 2021 NHL entry draft, Mailloux renounced himself from proceedings, stating that he did not want to be drafted and instead wanted to focus on his reconciliation and growth.
